this_o world_n wicked_a man_n at_o once_o both_o vex_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o saint_n inward_o they_o vex_v and_o fret_v at_o it_o though_o outward_o in_o their_o speech_n and_o countenance_n they_o laugh_v and_o deride_v it_o yea_o and_o to_o some_o it_o be_v though_o it_o be_v a_o devilish_a contentment_n to_o they_o that_o they_o can_v reproach_v the_o defect_n of_o the_o godly_a shall_v such_o as_o these_o enter_v heaven_n while_o they_o be_v such_o heaven_n will_v be_v a_o place_n of_o exact_a torture_n and_o torment_n to_o they_o because_o there_o they_o will_v find_v nothing_o of_o that_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o their_o corrupt_a heart_n and_o nature_n but_o contrary_o all_o that_o purity_n and_o holiness_n which_o they_o hate_v yea_o and_o nothing_o but_o perfect_a purity_n and_o holiness_n which_o have_v no_o defect_n for_o they_o to_o abuse_v o_o the_o woeful_a and_o deplorable_a but_o withal_o certain_a and_o unavoidable_a misery_n of_o all_o unregenerate_a unsanctified_a person_n for_o though_o heaven_n be_v a_o place_n of_o unconceivable_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n yet_o heaven_n

in_o holy_a duty_n that_o grudge_n at_o every_o word_n speak_v in_o prayer_n that_o think_v much_o of_o every_o sand_n in_o the_o glass_n that_o run_v at_o a_o sermon_n and_o unto_o who_o every_o summons_n to_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n be_v as_o unacceptable_a as_o their_o pass_a bell_n that_o cry_n when_o will_v the_o sabbath_n be_v go_v and_o the_o ordinance_n be_v over_o what_o will_v you_o do_v in_o heaven_n or_o what_o can_v such_o unholy_a heart_n as_o you_o do_v there_o where_o a_o sabbath_n shall_v not_o be_v bare_o as_o long_o as_o a_o day_n or_o a_o week_n or_o a_o

by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o perfect_a the_o holiness_n of_o heaven_n be_v than_o what_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o saint_n here_o on_o earth_n be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o irksome_a and_o

why_o it_o be_v only_o from_o a_o likeness_n that_o be_v in_o they_o unto_o wicked_a man_n from_o those_o remainder_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n that_o still_o abide_v in_o they_o whereby_o they_o

the_o faint_a and_o weak_a discovery_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v make_v of_o himself_o unto_o holy_a man_n be_v so_o astonish_v o_o what_o a_o confound_a sight_n will_v it_o be_v unto_o sinner_n to_o have_v all_o the_o glorious_a attribute_n of_o god_n break_v forth_o in_o a_o full_a flash_n of_o lightning_n not_o only_o upon_o the_o face_n but_o into_o the_o conscience_n of_o sinner_n and_o
